Iraqi death threat letters translated

This article translates some death threat letters Iraqis recieve telling them to leave immediatly. Its a chilling indication of the level of violence
and intimidation under the surface of an already collapsing society.

Threat letters and fliers are a common everyday experience in Iraq these days. Below are several samples from different areas of the country,
including one that was posted on the door of the health center I used to work at.

Some of them contain shameless spelling and grammatical mistakes and a few were even pointed out as obvious fakes. I cannot absolutely prove that
these are authentic, but they were distributed in areas in which the threatening parties had no qualms about carrying out their threats.
